Friday stuff

[sobrique]

It seems I've come down with something. A lurgy of some sorts, that's a sore throat, a bit woozy lightheaded, a sniffly nose.
And for some reason chronically thirsty. Chugged 2 litres of evian in pretty short order last night.

Oh well. Apparantly it's been doing the rounds, and a workmate had the bug the other day.

I've been harrassed by the recruitment agencies again. I really do think they've got to be on some fat commission. I'm not sure how much though, does anyone happen to know? I figure it's going to be a percentage of appointment salary. I just wonder if they stand to make more off me moving job than I do (well, for the first year or so anyway). I suppose I could always ask when next I'm at interview.



It seems I'm going to be working on Sunday. A machine I need to mess with has an '11am on sundays' service level. What a crap idea. I mean, it's not like I _mind_ working sundays exactly, it's more that it's quite clearly a manager that sets that kind of requirement. What's wrong with 'sunday mornings'? So I could go in early ish, get it done, and then go get breakfast.

The other irritation, is that I'm in transit for an hour, for about 45 minutes work. Faintly irritating. I'm tempted to take along
a paperback and read for a bit. Just to make clear my feelings.

Oh well, at least it's at time and a half. Which is a useful amount of money, if not especially amazing.

So I'll not be 'doing' breakfast in Sainsburies on sunday. Would anyone be interested in a lunch gathering instead? Maybe somewhere like inspire, or maybe even the bear.

Oh well, pub tonight. That always makes things seem a little better.



Incidentally, I've mixed together some fudge, and managed to get my journal to appear as www.nightstalker.net. Which is nice.

And todays question is:
[Poll #244632]
If you'd care to elaborate, then please feel free to leave a comment.

That's fair enough, although I'd love to hear about it in more detail some day.
I've found the subject of religious and spiritual beliefs to be interesting. I was brought up as a Church of England christian, and ... well was sort of aware that there were hindus, muslims and buddists.

Since then, I've been reading about Vodou, paganism, wicca and a few others that might be considered 'alternative' (at least, from the point of view of our primarily christian western world). The boundaries between some seem to blur, and practices don't seem to differ all that much.

And whilst there are differences in doctrine, practices and understanding of the world, there remains a lot of commonality between them.

well, if ever we meet I'll be happy to discuss it. it's just that LJ is entertainment, and my faith isn't, if you see what I mean?

Boundaries do blur, in the end, most religions are about social control, most faiths about understanding and hope and most paths about the future of ourselves. Not suprising there are common themes

I see what you mean, and I understand. Religion, especially when it's an active part of one's life can be, and often is an intensely personal subject.

I ramble extensively on a number of subjects, but there's always a filter of 'things I'd rather not make public'. Even with 'friends only' posts, there's always a chance of someone seeing the post from cached internet files, or stolen cookies, or just a shared computer. Or just random gossip of course.

The filter is pretty simple. If I wouldn't mind it being discussed down da pub on a friday night, it's ok to include :)
